Brunel de la Gardine Crozes-Hermitage 2019

100% Syrah

The largest appellation in the Northern Rhône, grown on more fertile soil than the neighbouring Hermitage vineyard. Plenty of Northern Rhône Syrah class and elegance, at surprisingly good value.

Winemaking notes: From the northern side of the Northern Rhône appellation, from vines grown on granitic soils.
